80s' STYLE

THIS MONTH'S THEME

It's been a while but we're reheating another GTS LEC theme this time, previous LEC winner @Gingerale chose GTS LEC #16's theme for you. Let's recap what @D-Max had to say about this theme:

"80s' style. Design a car that takes its inspiration from 80s' liveries. But it's not that simple....

Keeping the liveries very much so 80s', I want cars to be from 2000 or newer. The big thing for me is limiting the crazy designs. 80s' cars had some very simplistic designs in terms of shapes yet still to this day are eye catching and mesmerizing. I don't want to see crazy curves or large scale images as that wasn't really a thing in the 80s'. I want to see the use of rectangles, squares and triangles. Strictly no replicas, though you can take inspiration and apply it. (if it is found to be too close to an original, you may be asked to edit your entry).

A quick note, bear in mind with 80s' car that title sponsors were very bold and in your face, so your livery should represent this."


CARS:

• 2000 or newer
• No VGTs

LIVERIES:

• Original designs only

UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:

• Must use either classic or modern decals (not a mix)
• Must use a basic number board that would've made sense in the 1980s'

BONUS PICTURE SETTINGS:

• Track shots in motion only

Good luck to everyone who entered ​

All beautiful liveries, but I went with # 6,16 and 17. I think they nailed the 80s look the best.

 

[AJGarbutt88]

Didn't manage to get an entry in in time but looking at the entries I voted for 17, 19 and 20 👌❤️

Amazing work as always

Incredible effort all round on this one. Most entries are top notch with a few on the next level above! I struggled choosing only three, but I went for:

#7 - Instant retro throwback vibes with the colour combination and the livery works perfectly on the NSX. It's a bit on the modern side, but it still carries those 80s vibes perfectly.
#17 - As soon as I saw this one in the thread I knew this was my winner - and clearly it appears to be the people's choice to! An awesomely balanced livery that has all the right retro vibes but sits perfectly as a modern livery too.
#19 - A Viper that doesn't have longitudinal stripes, that actually looks amazing?! How can you NOT vote for that? Love the off-white base (very 80s) and the colour stripes across the bonnet, and the use of Polaroid as a sponsor was a clever choice!

Thanks to those who voted for mine! Living in the shadow of #17 was always going to be tough, so I'm glad I got any votes at all!

 

[Gingerale]

I went with 8, 10 and 19.
This was kinda hard theme (don't know why I picked it lol), so just went with my guts with cars that kinda looked like they came from the 80s.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yay, I got some sympathy votes!

2, 19 and 22 for me.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Had a total of 10 votes, which is amusing to me: I always do well with liveries that I'm not so sure about and badly with the ones I think are sure bets to get a podium finish!

 

[svenhjs666]

#2, #7, #11 getting my vote.

 

[ZombieLiquid]

Congrats to @tomoca_1 and @cderekw19 on the podium and thanks for all the love for mine. That was a close one! Outside of the podium @996rick was my other fav. I thought he would get this one from my eyes. Nice work everyone.

 

[ziggedzag]

Congrats @tomoca_1 @cderekw19 & @ZombieLiquid, great looking podium!

 

[Nerazzurri]

Congratulations @tomoca_1 @cderekw19 & @ZombieLiquid

Thank you to everyone that voted for my entry too 👍

 

[MidnightRun85]

Congrats @tomoca_1 on the well-deserved win. I knew the moment I saw yours it was a winner and my entry was doomed! Congrats too to @cderekw19 and @ZombieLiquid on taking the final podium places.

 

[Raphaele]

Congratulations to our first-time winner @tomoca_1 with that beautiful and 80s-stylish Nissan GT-R Rallycar.
Congrats too to @ZombieLiquid and the colourful Polaroid Dodge Viper and @cderekw19 with that nice MTV Ford Focus.
Find yourselves in the Livery Editors' Hall of Fame.

And thanks for all the votes for my own entry #18 @cderekw19

 

[cderekw19]

Thanks everyone for your votes. This is my first podium after entering in a handful of competitions. Hope there are more to come.

Congratulations to the other podium members, @tomoca_1 and @ZombieLiquid. Excellent entires.

@Raphaele I really thought your entry was a great theme that I could easily see on an 80’s Z car. It was very fitting.

 

[996rick]

Congrats all! I wasn't sure how this one would shake out – lots of good stuff this time!
